r • ! CASE NUMBER: 1570-84 APPLICANT: Al Kehr Page 2 Attached is a copy of sketch illustrating the relationship between these properties and the applicant's proposal. Such a commitment would also be helpful at this time inasmuch as some of these landowners appeared at public hearings opposing the development project. A specific proposal on the part of these owners is not a part of this application. Attached to this report are copies of letters from Belair Builders, Inc. and Michels Construction Company illustrating their interest in pursuing that development concept. 6. With respect to the overall acceptance of the proposal, attached is a copy of a petition submitted by the applicant indicating those favoring the proposal. We understand that the immediate property owner to the west, who had previously opposed the development is one of the signatures of that petition. Hopefully, the hearings before the Planning Commission and Council will be helpful in determining the attitude of nearby landowners with respect to the development. 7. Since the previous proposal, there has been some discussion regarding the actual area of the land and the resultant density calculations. The dimensions have now been mutually agreed upon by the applicant and the staff, determining that there are 67,514 square feet of land, including the ten foot additional right-of-way to be dedicated for County Road C. As you know, the required density for R-2 development is 5,500 square feet per unit which produces a required land area of 71,500 square feet. Thus, the variance requested is 3,986 feet. The placement and dimensions of the private access road, parking, and units are in accordance with normal development standards for townhouse configuration, and thus the variance in density appears not to be a critical factor. 8. Attached is a copy of a report from David Drown, Assistant Engineer, outlining some engineering considerations for your review. A portion of paragraph 4 has been deleted which dealt with the question of lot dimension and ext,nt of variance which has now been resolved. Mr. Drown notes his principal concern with respect to the looping of the water system. It would appear that the sizing and locr`ion of the system can be left :subject to staff review and decision. Obviously, if this private street were to be extended to Dale Street immediately, this problem could be easily mitigated inasmuch as looping of the system is the legitimate and worthwhile objective. 9. Another area of concern has been that of thu provision for adequate turn -•around for fire fighting equipment at the site. Attached is a copy of report from the Fire Marshall for your consideration. It would appear that the appropriate standard for a turn -around at the distance to the turn in the private roadway would be the 60 foot hammerhead illustrated in the fire Marshal's reference material. We will prepare a sketch illustrating the configuration of this concept as it relates to the development proposal at the Planning Commission hearing. We suggest this because the proposal submitted in the applicant's second page of his drawings does not relate (as drawn) directly to this concept.
